BIS Certification for
Foot Warmers and Heating Mats
IS 302 Part 1:2024/IEC 60335-1
BIS Certification is essential for Foot Warmers and Heating Mats under IS 302 Part 1 to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance for a wide range of Household and similar electrical appliances, helping manufacturers meet the quality and safety requirements set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Products certified under this standard demonstrate compliance with electrical safety, insulation and other critical safety requirements.
Foot Warmers and Heating Mats are portable heating devices that provide warmth and comfort. They use low-voltage energy or rechargeable batteries and are commonly used in homes, offices, and while travelling. As these appliances handle electricity and come into contact with users, there is an unavoidable risk of fire and short circuits. Obtaining BIS Certification is the first step towards market approval. Partnering with a BIS Certification consultant in India helps businesses complete the process efficiently and without delays, ensuring full compliance with the latest BIS regulatory updates.
